RAISE Research
RAISE Research
Rural U.S. companies can receive customized RAISE market research from the U.S. Commercial Service Rural Export Center (REC). This in-depth research will help you find the best international markets and identify specific potential partners. The REC works with local U.S. Commercial Service and foreign CS offices to craft an individualized export strategy for your company.
RAISE Research can help companies with the following needs:
- Determining if there is export opportunity, and where, including prioritized country rankings
- Building a strategic export plan based on data and on-the-ground realities
- Determining if a Trade Show, Trade Mission, or overseas trip is a worthwhile investment
- Developing a prospective buyer list, to see who is currently on the ground active in your industry segment
- Amplifying your presence at a trade show by developing a contact list to do promotions before the trade show.
- Preparing for a meeting with a prospective buyer by researching opportunities in advance of the meeting
